Current Listen: Gregory Issacs’ Album Once Ago
Good morning fam! Happy Sunday,
What do you have planned today? Today, after I finish this blog post, Mawow and I are going to relax and finish watching Welcome to the Space Show on the Kanopy App. I cannot speak highly enough about the Kanopy App. I get ten tickets a month with my library card.
There are movies, documentaries, and TV shows to watch. My only advice is to make sure you use every ticket each month because if you don’t, they will only fill you up to 10; leftover tickets do not roll over. So far, I have been catching up on anime I have been wanting to watch, and Kanopy has what I want! Most of the movies I have been watching have the English dubbed version, so I can listen while I bake.
Speaking of baking, last night, I baked pumpkin spice muffins for breakfast today. I can honestly say I am stuffed to the gills. I spent the morning on my front porch sipping coffee and eating muffins with my neighbors. The neighbors who live right next door are used to my weirdness. My bestie NaeNaeBae is the niece of my neighbors. They make sure that if I’m hungry, I am fed. They make the best tamales I have ever eaten!
I miss NaeNaeBae so much. We spent every day together before she moved, and now, I am stuck here without her. My goal is that when I am settled in Pennsylvania, I want her to come with me. I am not sure how she will do in the snow, but we can cross that bridge when we need to. Hell, I am not sure I can handle the snow anymore either.
On to the weekly roundup…
It’s pretty sparse! For the most part, I did absolutely nothing. Watched a couple of movies, snuggled the cat, and dealt with a lot of pain. The pain I deal with every day comes from my hysterectomy in 2020. I was told the pain was because I was fat, and yes, that was the exact term the doctor used.
In 2021, I was told to lose the weight, and my issues would disappear. In 2022, I tried to get a second opinion on the pain, and again I was told I was OBESE, and if I lost the weight, the pain would disappear. In 2022/23, I took the matter into my own hands and lost the fuckin weight.
When I got to the weight requested by the first doctor, I was then told the pain was all in my head. That’s when I started taking dummiegummies from a local company (yep, I shop local), and started smoking every day.
When I was in high school, I smoked za with friends for fun, but these days, it is all about pain relief for me.
I did manage to get videos uploaded and recorded a few to throw in the drafts. I love making videos for y’all and the community we have built, but I will admit writing is where my head is at right now.
My favorite video from this past week was my Kenny and Dolly video I did for my mom. That is one of her favorite songs. She got to see everything from conception to completion of the video before y’all did. She is the one who gave me the idea for the island background. I learned a new video editing style right on my iPhone. I recorded each video in the TikTok App, then I downloaded them to my phone and put them together in iMovie.
With the sale of TikTok, I feel like my days are numbered, and I need to learn to create outside the App for other platforms. TikTok is easy to make content on, but I need to learn elsewhere. I thank the GODS that YouTube taught me some new tricks this week.
This week, I did not make it to the library with River. We both woke up yesterday under the weather and chose to stay home. I am hoping she feels better by next weekend. I really miss her face. With my time in Texas hopefully winding down soon, I want to spend as much time as I can with my Texas peeps.
Well, Y’all, this is getting long-winded, so I am going to close for now. See you in the next post, and remember how much this weirdo here in Texas loves and appreciates every single one of you! I DO!
Love,
P
